Welcome to the World of BRAVIA®

Thank you for purchasing this Sony BRAVIA® high-definition television. The quality of the image you see on your BRAVIA TV is only as good as the quality of the signal it receives. To experience the stunning detail of your new BRAVIA TV, you need access to HD programming. Your BRAVIA TV can receive and display HD programming from:

• Over-the-air broadcasting via an HD-quality antenna• HD cable subscription• HD satellite subscription• Blu-ray Disc™ player or other external equipment

Contact your cable or satellite provider for information about upgrading to HD programming.

To learn more about HDTV, visit:U.S.A. http://www.sony.com/HDTVCanada http://www.SonyStyle.ca/hd

The Four Steps to a Stunning HD Experience: Set, Sound, Source, and SetupAlong with your BRAVIA TV set, a complete HD system requires an HD sound system, a source of HD programming and proper setup connections. This manual explains basic setup connections (see page 16). The Quick Setup Guide, enclosed separately, illustrates how to connect other optional equipment.

Picture Quality and Aspect RatioYou can enjoy crisp, clear images, smooth movement and high-impact visuals from 1080i HD signals. When you compare a high-definition signal to a standard analog signal, you will notice a big difference. The 1080i HD signals provide more than twice the vertical resolution of the standard TV signal.

High-definition and standard-definition signals are transmitted with different aspect ratios (the width-to-height ratio of the image). HDTV uses a wider screen than conventional standard-definition TV.

~• You can use the Wide Mode function of the TV to adjust the 4:3 image to fit the entire screen (see pages 25

and 33).• This TV supports signals up to 1080i.

16:9 (high-definition) sourceMost HDTV signals use a wide screen aspect ratio of 16:9. The 16:9 fills your BRAVIA screen, maintaining a crisp, clear, vivid picture.

4:3 (standard-definition) sourceMost standard definition signals use a boxy 4:3 aspect ratio. When a 4:3 image is displayed on an HDTV, you will see black bars on the sides. The picture quality may not be as sharp as with HD sources.

Suddenly the picture gets smaller.

❑ The picture gets smaller during the commercials, this is due to the method the provider broadcasts their contents. When HD content channels switch to SD definition content (commercials), the picture may become smaller with a black border.

❑ Auto Wide will not expand the picture during these content changes since the content information is regulated by the channel signal provider. You can manually change the Wide Mode if you prefer (page 25). This setting will remain in effect until you change the channel or input or manually change the Wide Mode again.

❑ Programs in 4:3 aspect ratio will have bands on the left and right sides of the screen. To select full size, see page 33.
